The attacks came hours after Israel attacked Tehran as well as the northern cities of Rasht and Urmia, and Karaj. The semi-official Fars News Agency said air defense systems had been activated in response to what it called 'the most intense explosions in nearly two weeks.'

Iran: Trust in Washington broken
Shafaq News – Najaf/Tehran Iran rejects prospects for renewed nuclear negotiations with the United States, the country's consul in Najaf said on Monday. 'Iran was engaged in indirect talks with the US, but Washington broke them off and relied on deception,' Consul Sayyed Saeed Al-Sayyedin told Shafaq News. He added that Tehran no longer trusts US guarantees, referencing the 2018 American withdrawal from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). 'Washington breached the nuclear agreement, and that's why Iran has no confidence in the United States,' Al-Sayyedin stated. He also rejected any suggestion that Tehran initiated its current military confrontation with Israel. 'Iran did not start the war with Israel, nor did it seek to end it,' he asserted. The negotiations between the two sides have stalled, especially since the US struck Iran's nuclear facilities. However, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dismissed US President Donald Trump's claims that American strikes had destroyed Iranian nuclear facilities. 'Trump exaggerated the outcome to obscure the truth about the results of the attacks,' Khamenei said. رئیس‌جمهور آمریکا در شرح آنچه که واقع شد، بزرگنمایی غیرمتعارفی کرد که معلوم شد به این بزرگنمایی احتیاج دارد. هرکسی میشنید آن حرفها را میفهمید که در زیر ظاهر این حرفها یک حقیقت دیگری وجود دارد. کاری نتوانستند انجام بدهند و بزرگنمایی میکنند تا حقیقت را بپوشانند و مکتوم نگه دارند. — | فارسی 🇮🇷 (@Khamenei_fa) June 29, 2025

In a call with Macron, Iran criticizes IAEA "double standards" in nuclear reporting
Shafaq News – Tehran/ Paris Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for what he described as biased reporting on Iran's nuclear file and failure to condemn recent attacks on its nuclear facilities, calling the agency's approach a threat to regional and global security. Speaking during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Pezeshkian questioned why Israel, which is not a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), should serve as a source for IAEA reporting. 'Such double standards create serious challenges for regional and international security,' he said, urging the agency to uphold the rights of member states and refrain from discriminatory behavior. Pezeshkian expressed dissatisfaction with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi's latest reports and his silence regarding recent Israeli and US attacks on Iran's nuclear sites, describing these actions as violations of international law that were either ignored or justified by international actors, including human rights advocates. 'The IAEA must commit fully to its own rules and restore confidence by acting impartially,' he added. Macron, in response, offered condolences for Iranian casualties resulting from recent Israeli strikes, stating that France was among the first countries to condemn the joint US-Israeli attacks and had made it clear to Israeli officials that Tel Aviv holds no legal or legitimate standing in the Iranian nuclear file.

Russia warns: NATO spending will fracture alliance
Shafaq News – Kyrgyzstan/Kyiv NATO's plan to sharply boost defense spending would eventually fracture the alliance, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov argued on Monday, while German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul accused Russia's President Vladimir Putin of pursuing Ukraine's total surrender rather than genuine negotiations. Speaking after a Collective Security Treaty Organization meeting, Lavrov dismissed Polish fears that Russia's military buildup might spark its own collapse, insisting instead that NATO's 'reckless spending spree' would destabilize its members. He claimed Moscow intends to cut defense budgets and prioritize 'common sense,' echoing earlier remarks by Putin in Minsk. Last week, NATO members approved a target to commit 5% of GDP to defense by 2035, allocating 3.5% for military readiness and 1.5% for infrastructure and innovation. Meanwhile in Kyiv, Wadephul accused Putin of seeking 'conquest at any cost,' warning that Russia aimed to weaken Western unity. He reaffirmed Germany's support for Ukraine's sovereignty, calling its defense 'the most important task of our foreign and security policy.'
